A. A catalyst because it increases the time that it takes to happen

A catalyst will increase the rate of a chemical reaction by changing the reaction mechanism so that the reaction has a lower activation energy.

a higher volume will decrease the concentrations which will intern decrease the number of collisions which will slow down the rate of the reaction since collisions between reactants are what make reactions happen. A lower temperature causes the molecules to slow down thereby lowering the collision rate which will lower the reaction rate. A lower pressure will lower the number of collisions which will intern result in a lower reaction rate (this can be thought of as a lower concentration since lower pressures involve less gas per unit volume)

How is coal formed and why is it considered a nonrenewable resource? (Site 1)

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Coal is formed under the ground when pressure is high and there is a lot of heat also to make coal you need dead and composed organisms put together all of this makes a lump of dark coal.

What is special about the kelvin temperature scale

nalin [4]

Kelvin is a temperature scale designed so that zero degrees K is defined as absolute zero (at absolute zero, a hypothetical temperature, all molecular movement stops - all actual temperatures are above absolute zero) and the size of one unit is the same as the size of one degree Celsius.

A scholar measures 20 mL of room temperature water (22ºC) and adds 80 mL of 75°C water to it, following the

Leni [432]

Answer:

Data is not valid

Explanation:

When two liquids having different temperatures are mixed, regardless of the volumes, the final mix temperature will ALWAYS be between the initial temperature values.

1st Law Thermo => Law of Conservation of Energy => Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed in form. Mixing 22°C with 75°C will NOT result in a mix having a final temperature of 80°C.

∑ΔE = 0 => (mcΔT)₁ + (mcΔT)₂ = 0

[(20g)(1cal/g·°C)(Tₓ - 22°C)] + [(80g)(1cal/g·°C)(Tₓ - 75°C)] = 0

=> 20(Tₓ - 22) + 80(Tₓ - 75) = 0

=> 20Tₓ - 440 + 80Tₓ - 75 = 0

=> 100Tₓ = 440 + 75 = 515

=> Tₓ = (515/100)°C = 51.5°C final mix temperature

Calculate the number of sodium ions, perchlorate ions, Cl atoms and O atoms in 17.8 g of sodium perchlorate. Enter your answers

Degger [83]

17.8 g of sodium perchlorate contains 8.73 × 10²² Na⁺ ions, 8.73 × 10²² ClO₄⁻ ions, 8.73 × 10²² Cl atoms and 3.49 × 10²³ O atoms.

First, we will convert 17.8 g of NaClO₄ to moles using its molar mass (122.44 g/mol).

$17.8 g \times \frac{1mol}{122.44g} = 0.145 mol$

Next, we will convert 0.145 moles to molecules of NaClO₄ using Avogadro's number; there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.

$0.145 mol \times \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23}molecules }{mol} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}molecules$

NaClO₄ is a strong electrolyte that dissociates according to the following equation.

NaClO₄ ⇒ Na⁺ + ClO₄⁻

The molar ratio of NaClO₄ to Na⁺ is 1:1. The number of Na⁺ in 8.73 × 10²² molecules of NaClO₄ is:

$8.73 \times 10^{22}moleculeNaClO_4 \times \frac{1 ion Na^{+} }{1moleculeNaClO_4} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}ion Na^{+}$

The molar ratio of NaClO₄ to ClO₄⁻ is 1:1. The number of ClO₄⁻ in 8.73 × 10²² molecules of NaClO₄ is:

$8.73 \times 10^{22}moleculeNaClO_4 \times \frac{1 ion ClO_4^{-} }{1moleculeNaClO_4} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}ion ClO_4^{-}$

The molar ratio of ClO₄⁻ to Cl is 1:1. The number of Cl in 8.73 × 10²² ions of ClO₄⁻ is:

$8.73 \times 10^{22}ion ClO_4^{-} \times \frac{1 atomCl }{1ion ClO_4^{-}} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}atom Cl$

The molar ratio of ClO₄⁻ to O is 1:1. The number of O in 8.73 × 10²² ions of ClO₄⁻ is:

$8.73 \times 10^{22}ion ClO_4^{-} \times \frac{4 atomO }{1ion ClO_4^{-}} = 3.49 \times 10^{23}atom O$

17.8 g of sodium perchlorate contains 8.73 × 10²² Na⁺ ions, 8.73 × 10²² ClO₄⁻ ions, 8.73 × 10²² Cl atoms and 3.49 × 10²³ O atoms.
